Wellington Arch (28 October 2018)

This archway is in the middle of Hyde Park Corner roundabout and is very easy to visit using public transport.

It is owned by English Heritage and has a small shop, museum and viewing balcony.  I visited using my membership card.

You get a reasonable view but it isn’t very high so you can’t see very far.
